She didn't believe that the other person would deliberately get plastic surgery to look like Takagi.

"Well, as expected of the Metropolitan Police Department's beauty queen. I thought you were the kind of person with an empty head. It seems I really underestimated you."

Upon seeing Sato Miwako's actions, "Takagi's" voice finally changed from a male voice to a magnetic female voice, her tone filled with resentment:

"But I still don't understand. My disguise technique should be perfect. How did you find out that I'm not Takagi?"

"Is it because I didn't address that Mr. Kanoin as Master Heizo?"

Of course, it's because it wasn't Kanoin Heizo who solved the Maple Leaf Coin case, but Yono Sora.

In order to better lure the snake out of its hole, Inoue and Inspector Megure decided to use Kanoin Heizo as bait.

Therefore, if Inspector Megure really wanted them to go to the Rabbit House to inquire about the details of the case, they should have gone to Yoon Sora instead.

Only "outsiders" who were not at the scene of the incident or were misled by the press conference would have such a misunderstanding as the fake Takagi.

As for the fact that Takagi learned martial arts from Shika and called her "Master Heizo," that was something she made up on the spot to further confirm.

However, although she wanted to point out all these flaws, Sato Miwako ultimately remembered the principle of secrecy and simply said in a cold voice:

"Behave yourself, you have no right to ask questions!"

To Sato Miwako's surprise, after hearing her answer, the resentment and panic on the fake Takagi's face vanished instantly:

"You're really cautious. I do admire you, Officer Sato. Even under these circumstances, you still remember to keep things confidential."

After all, based on her experience, when someone feels they have complete control of the situation, they will naturally feel a desire to confide in her when faced with her questions.

Unfortunately, Sato Miwako clearly restrained this desire and failed to uncover the information she wanted.

Hearing the fake Takagi's calm tone, Sato Miwako instinctively felt a sense of foreboding.

The next moment, this ominous feeling turned into reality.

Chapter 111 Trading

Sato Miwako was startled, and then she realized that the arm of the fake Takagi that she had twisted suddenly became soft and slippery as if it had no bones, and it slipped out of her hand in just a moment.

Of course, what made this Metropolitan Police Department's most beautiful woman most incredulous was what happened next.

With a slight flick of his wrist, the fake Takagi's right hand, which had been handcuffed to the treadmill, broke free of the handcuffs and regained its freedom.

"How can this be?"

Sato Miwako looked incredulous. If handcuffs were so easy for prisoners to break free of, they would have been phased out long ago.

"Officer Sato, anything is possible."

The fake Takagi smiled slightly, feeling somewhat satisfied with Sato Miwako's undisguised shock.

Because even she only acquired this ability in the last few days:

"If you are willing to obey, you may suffer less."

But clearly, Sato Miwako was not the type to sit idly by and wait for her fate; she sneered:

"Let's talk about it after you can do it."

Even if she still couldn't figure out how the fake Takagi in front of her had done it, she could only think that he was a rather troublesome opponent, so how could she just surrender?

"It seems that the previous sparring match did indeed lead you to a wrong judgment about the difference in our strength."

The fake Takagi shook his head slightly, and before Sato could answer, he rushed forward again.

This time, however, her speed and strength were completely different from before.

After only a couple of exchanges, Sato was horrified to find his wrist already gripped by the fake Takagi—

Another beautiful over-the-shoulder throw.

This time, however, the roles of the two people who threw the other person and the one who was thrown were completely reversed.

What kind of power and speed does this guy possess?

Feeling as if she was about to be shattered by the fall, Sato Miwako knew that the other party had deliberately chosen to press her to the ground in almost the same position, clearly as a "reciprocal gesture."

Of course, this is indeed enough to illustrate that the gap in strength between the two sides has become so large that they can manipulate each other at will.

"Who are you exactly?"

Sato gritted his teeth and struggled desperately.

However, the fake Takagi's hands were like steel vises, more firmly restraining almost all of her resistance than real handcuffs.

"Officer Sato, are you sure you want to know the answer to this question? If you weren't so perceptive, you wouldn't be in this situation now."

The fake Takagi leaned close to Sato Miwako's ear and asked in a gentle tone that was the complete opposite of her rough actions:

"By the way, Officer Sato seemed to have promised that if I could hold out for three minutes, he would grant me one request. I wonder if I've held out for three minutes now?"

Sato Miwako snorted coldly, naturally refusing to answer such a question.

"There's no other way. It seems I'll have to resort to some brute force to get you to talk."

Seeing this reaction, the fake Takagi's tone became even gentler.

However, to Sato, this was a sign of growing danger.

Although she hadn't seen the real Takagi yet, she was already quite certain that this was an extremely dangerous woman!

Sato was extremely anxious and suddenly said:

"Takagi, what did you do to Takagi?"

The fake Takagi stopped what he was doing and said with interest:

What makes you think I'd tell you the answer to that question?

Sato said in a deep voice:

"If you answer my questions truthfully, I am willing to tell you some information."

"A good deal."

Fake Takagi raised an eyebrow and chuckled:

"To show my sincerity, I can answer your question first. Don't worry, you are the police, why would I cause trouble for no reason? Officer Takagi is fine now, he's just enjoying a rare nap."

Of course, if Officer Sato becomes unwilling to cooperate, then things might change.

Although it might just be a lie to comfort himself, Sato couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief upon hearing the fake Takagi say that.

"What do you want to know?"

The fake Takagi immediately asked:

Where are those twelve gold coins?

Sato frowned and said:

"Those twelve gold coins should have been returned to their rightful owner—"

"Still trying to stall for time, Officer Sato?" Before she could finish speaking, the fake Takagi said impatiently, "I'm not talking about those twelve counterfeit coins, but the real twelve maple leaf gold coins that your police have hidden away."

Sato was shocked, because those twelve maple leaf gold coins should be genuine, and they had been under tight protection by the police.

However, judging from what the fake Takagi just said, she seemed to have already seen, and even very likely examined, those twelve maple leaf gold coins.

How could the police be completely unaware of this?

Who exactly is this woman?

Also, why were those twelve gold coins counterfeit?

Sato didn't think the fake Takagi would lie about this.

"As expected, I couldn't hide it from you guys." Although he was incredibly shocked inside, Sato still showed a helpless expression. "I'm willing to tell the truth. Those twelve gold coins were indeed counterfeit. The real ones were entrusted to twelve reliable police officers for safekeeping, and I was one of them..."

"That's a good plan."

The fake Takagi didn't immediately suspect anything, because it was indeed a possible plan.

Of course, she would only truly believe this statement after confirming it with her own hands:

Where is the gold coin you were keeping safe?

Sato remained motionless and whispered:

"Have you forgotten? We're in a transaction, one question for another."

The fake Takagi was slightly surprised and reminded him:

"Officer Sato, you should understand that the less you know, the safer you are."

Sato Miwako whispered:

"I want to know what's so special about these twelve gold coins that makes you go to such lengths."

The bandit leader's behavior was suspicious, but it was still somewhat plausible.

However, after this fake Takagi appeared, if she still believed that these were twelve antique gold coins simply made of gold, then Sato felt she really needed to get her head checked.

“You’re very smart, Officer Sato.”

Unfortunately, his cleverness backfired.

A look of pity appeared in the fake Takagi's eyes. This Officer Sato probably thought that as long as he didn't find out her identity or the power behind her, he could escape danger. Little did he know that the matter of these twelve gold coins was also an absolute secret.

Even members within the organization with codenames are not authorized to know, and even if they accidentally find out, they must be imprisoned, and even—

As she listened to the message whispered in the fake Takagi's ear, Sato Miwako's eyes widened involuntarily:

"How can this be?"

Chapter 112 Life hangs on a thread

"How can this be?"

Sato Miwako was utterly shocked because the fake Takagi told her that the twelve maple leaf coins possessed magical power, and that obtaining them would allow her to make a deal with the legendary demon.

"Believe it or not, it's up to you." The fake Takagi seemed to have anticipated Sato's reaction, but she didn't explain further, her eyes already showing forgiveness for the deceased. "Alright, now it's your turn to show me the evidence. Don't try anything funny; you should already understand the difference between us."

Realizing that the fake Takagi had loosened his grip on him, Sato slowly stood up.

As she walked, she also pondered in her heart.

Are these guys who are eyeing the maple leaf coins actually a group of cultists?

Of course, she didn't take the demon that the fake Takagi mentioned seriously. After all, how could such messy things really exist in this world?

But judging from the other party's unwavering belief, they are most likely a bewitched follower of the devil.

As a detective, Miwako Sato has dealt with these kinds of troublesome guys before.

Although the leaders of these cults are mostly swindlers who use the name of evil gods to cheat people out of money and sex, they are very good at bewitching people and can often gather many pitiful people who have a deep belief in so-called gods or demons.

However, these fanatical believers who have been thoroughly brainwashed are often the most difficult to deal with.

Even ordinary people are enough to give the Metropolitan Police Department a headache.

Needless to say, someone as skilled as the fake Takagi, who is even an expert in disguise, is definitely an extremely dangerous person.

As Sato was thinking this, he had already led the fake Takagi all the way to the balcony.

"It's right here, that gold coin, I hid it in this bag of laundry detergent—"

When the fake Takagi's gaze fell on the laundry detergent in her hand, Sato Miwako suddenly tore open the bag of laundry detergent and smashed it into the other person's face.

The fake Takagi reacted exceptionally quickly, immediately covering her eyes with her left hand and clenching her right fist, intending to teach this disobedient Metropolitan Police Department beauty a real lesson.

To the slight surprise of fake Takagi, Sato did not take advantage of the moment when his view was blocked by the laundry detergent to rush over and launch a sneak attack. Instead, he rushed to the balcony and chose to escape.

It seems she was well aware of the gap between them and didn't think that she could subdue her with just this little trick.

Unfortunately, it was still of no use.

As the fake Takagi shook his head, Sato had already flipped over and jumped out of the window.

She lived on the second floor, and there was a lawn downstairs. With her familiarity with the surroundings, escaping would be no problem at all.

However, just as Sato Miwako was thinking this, she suddenly felt a burning sensation in her chest.

At the same time, she inexplicably felt a pang of heart palpitation.
